The 5 Best Nursing Homes in Boerne, TX for 2024

Boerne, Texas, is the seat of Kendall County and the home of many older adults; of Boerne’s 19,109 residents, 17.9% are 65 or older. When they need medical care, the Methodist ER Boerne facility makes emergency services available day and night. A short distance to the south, the San Antonio area has more options, including the Methodist Hospital Texsan and St. Luke’s Baptist Hospital. Per the Genworth 2021 Cost of Care Survey, in Boerne, nursing home residents pay an average of $5,232 per month for semiprivate accommodations. That rate is markedly lower than the nationwide average cost of $7,908.

In a nursing home, seniors can usually expect to have continual access to care from nurses and other medical professionals. Many treatment plans involve elements such as occupational, speech and physical therapy, too. The high level of care in nursing homes tends to make them pricier than other senior living setups. Seniors who are relatively independent may wish to consider assisted living or home health care as alternatives to nursing home placement.

This guide compares the cost of nursing home care in Boerne to other options, and it summarizes several organizations’ offerings for Boerne’s older adults.

Financial Assistance for Nursing Home Care in Boerne, TX

Many seniors and their families use some form of financial assistance to help them pay for nursing care. The main options available are Medicare, Medicaid, and veterans benefits. These programs can be complicated, especially when it comes to benefit terms. Below, we give a brief overview of how these programs may be used towards paying for skilled nursing care.

  • Medicare: Medicare will typically cover all skilled nursing costs for the first 20 days of one’s stay in a nursing home and a portion of the costs until day 100. After 100 days in a skilled nursing facility, Medicare will not cover any part of the cost of the stay. While this is adequate when short-term care is needed, those in need of long-term care will need to either pay out-of-pocket or use another source of financial assistance.
  • Medicaid: Medicaid covers most of the costs of living in a skilled nursing facility for those who qualify. Care, room, and board are covered with no time limit, but residents may be charged for extras like specially prepared food or cosmetic services. Medicaid eligibility standards are strict and complex, so not all seniors are eligible for Medicaid benefits.
  • Veterans Benefits: Veterans receiving a VA pension may also be eligible for the Aid and Attendance benefit administered by the VA. Aid and Attendance is a monthly allowance that beneficiaries may use to pay for their long-term care, including skilled nursing care.

If these options aren’t available to you, check if your loved one has long-term care insurance or contact your Area Agency on Aging to ask about any local financial assistance programs for seniors.
